This young five-piece band from Boise, Idaho got together at their local church, the Capital Christian Center, in 2005. Influenced by acts such as Hillsong United and the David Crowder Band they honed their skills practising in prayer rooms and offices at the church, and this album - the band's first full length release - surfaced in mid 2009. A lush and varied record, highlights include uplifting radio friendly rock numbers "Sing, Shout, Dance" and "Resound" that contrast perfectly with the gentle, sparse piano-led tracks like the closer "Come". On the latter vocalist Derek Henbest successfully showcases the grittier side of his voice. Polished, inspired and brimming with confidence this is a debut well worth checking out.
